[Shop-talk] anode rods-- was the air saga continues

[rlwhitetr3b at hotmail.com (Rich White)]

I have a coulda woulda shoulda question.

Our water heater is original to the house, which makes it about eighteen years
old and we have a water softener.
It has NEVER had anything done to it.  Do I let sleeping dogs lie or try to
flush it etc?
I'm worried that the sediment is the only thing keeping it together.
